Are you looking for the perfect gift to give the plant lover in your life? If so you are in the right place at the right time. With this article, I am going to share with you 5 of the best indoor potted plants to give as a gift.
Braided Ficus Tree
Of all the foliage plants the potted ficus is by far one of my favourites. This particular plant can grow as tall as six feet. If you plan on planting this type of plant yourself you must be very careful. The roots are very aggressive. However, since it will be a potted braided ficus tree you don’t have to worry about that. The great thing about this plant is the leaves will stay nice and green the entire year.
Shrub Roses
If you are wanting to give a container plant as a gift this is the way to go. You can get shrub roses in a variety of different colours. This is one of the many things that makes them the perfect gift. You can also find them just about anywhere be it online or in your local flower shop.
Cactus Bonsai
If you know anything about cactus plants you know there’s a huge selection you can choose from. The funny thing is they all make great potted plants that can be given as a gift. The cactus bonsai, however, is one of the most fun ones. Because it is a cactus it doesn’t require much maintenance. That’s perfect for the individual receiving it as a gift.
Peace Lily
I simply can’t get enough of the peace lilies. Peace lilies are without a doubt some of the most beautiful indoor potted plants you will ever see. They are very easy to take care of and can last all year long if you keep the weather right in your home. Most people will have several of these in their home. So you can give two or three as a gift and the recipient is sure to love it.
Palm Trees
Any palm tree will make a great gift. They make some of the best-potted plants due to the way they grow. Some of the best palm trees include the ponytail palms and the Chamaedorea palms. The biggest issue people have with palm trees is the fact they shed a lot of their leaves. If the recipient is a clean freak this might not be the best gift to give.
On a lighter note, palm trees are very easy to take care of. You only have to water them two or three times a month. Most people can handle that without any problems. Palm trees can also grow quite tall. Be sure to check and see if the person has enough room for the plant before you buy it.
And there you have it. 5 of the best indoor potted plants you can give as a gift. If you want to learn more about these plants you can do a little research online. You can also do all of your shopping online. Just visit some of the top floral websites such as floristnz.co.nz or australiaflowerdelivery.net and you are sure to find what you need.
